[Slam Dunk] Be Reckless While You're Young

Xu Ying felt that in her previous life, everything had turned out well enough, except that her university years were a little eventful and her love life a little rocky.

But she couldn't understand how she had transmigrated.

Since she knew what the future held, why not just coast through university and call it a day?

But when she saw those familiar faces, she could no longer take it easy.

There was no way she could coast in the world of Slam Dunk!

Sakuragi Hanamichi: Xu Ying... From now on, I'll call you Shadow. I really am a genius!

Xu Ying: ...! Do two hundred more dribbling drills!

Xu Ying: If something goes wrong, do you want to end up on a long-term break like Mitsui-senpai?

Mitsui Hisashi: You cheeky little brat! Is that any way to use your senior as an example?

Xu Ying: Don't sweat the small stuff, Mitsui-senpai. It's not like there's another example! Your experience is the most convincing.

Miyagi Ryota: Ayako came to see me?!

Xu Ying: Yep. Go for it, Miyagi-senpai! I'm rooting for you!

Rukawa Kaede: What are you spacing out for? Keep your eyes on me!

Xu Ying: ...

Xu Ying: Yohei, how did you recognize me?

Mito Yohei: Guess.

Sendoh Akira: I heard you told someone I was your boyfriend?

Xu Ying: ...Well, I guess you can't get away with your own bad behavior forever. The truth is out.

This is a slightly different Slam Dunk world, where the world of Slam Dunk meets reality...

Coming soon: Slam Dunk fanfiction, Slam Dunk: Only You

This is a companion story to Slam Dunk: Young, Wild, and Free.

It's set in a different parallel world, so you can enjoy it even if you haven't read the previous story.

If you asked the Ryonan basketball team, "What do you think Sendoh Akira's future girlfriend will be like?"

Uozumi Jun: I can't imagine.

Koshino Hiroaki: She'll have three heads and six arms.

Uekusa Tomoyoshi: An alien.

Fukuda Kichou: ...A fish.

Lately, Sendoh Akira has been haunted by a dream. A girl whose features he can't make out keeps appearing in it, and it's been bothering him.

Could he have come down with some kind of two-dimensional delusion?

Then he took part in a basketball scrimmage, and the school they visited held a costume party to welcome them.

Bored out of his mind, he hid in a tree to get some peace and quiet. Below him, a man and a woman were putting on quite a show.

As he watched, the woman's mask was suddenly lifted, and her face matched the girl from his dream.

In an instant, countless images were forcibly implanted in his mind.

That's right, he had been reborn!

Sendoh Akira had always taken life as it came, staying cool and collected about everything. He had almost no desire to compete. But now, for the first time, he had become determined to pursue something, someone.

From then on, he carefully planned every step, all so he wouldn't miss her again in this life.

Xu Ying was reborn into a real world that overlapped with Slam Dunk. As a hardcore Slam Dunk fan, she quickly became friends with the characters.

Except for Sendoh Akira. Their first meeting was rather rough.

Sendoh kissed her, and she slapped him in return.

He said, "Sorry. Things were a little urgent, so I had to do it that way."

Xu Ying believed him, because Sendoh had never been the type to lie.

Then he kissed her a second time, and then a third...

Xu Ying lost her temper.

Sendoh gently held her close. "It's not just that you're a girl. It's because you're you. You're the only one for me!"
